MTA Prepares for Baltimore Running Festival

Running 26 miles through the streets of Baltimore might be hard, but the MTA is trying to make getting to the Baltimore Running Festival easier. The Maryland Department of Transportation’s Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) urges race fans to take mass transit to avoid downtown congestion and road closures on Saturday, October 17.

Fans are encouraged to use MTA Metro Subway and Light Rail to commute downtown. Metro Subway riders can exit at the Charles Center Station; Light Rail riders at the Camden Yards Station. The Camden Yards Station is a short walk to both the starting line at Russell and Camden streets and the finish line off Lee Street near the I-395/Martin Luther King Boulevard Overpass.

Fares for MTA Local Bus, Light Rail and Metro Subway are $1.70 one-way, $3.40 round-trip and $4 for a Day Pass. Day Passes are the best value and help riders avoid congestion and lines at transit stations.
